Plus I think we officials are sometimes loathe to call a shooting foul on a half court prayer. If the contact is huge, yeah. Otherwise (and I'm not saying this is right, but...) we tend to bail out. Good coaches know that. So challenge the shot!
Sort of like in football when the R resists calling a safety unless he is 125% sure the running back failed to get out of the end zone.
